Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is an above-average fielder. Has the speed to go deep in the infield holes and the agility to turn tight double plays.
Flaws
  • Is a bit of a free swinger, which results in mediocre offensive numbers. Doesn't read pitchers well enough to be a big stolen-base threat.
Career Potential
  • A good utility infielder.
